@lotestudio I fixed it by adding this to a newly created file .babelrc {"presets": [ ["env", { "targets": { "uglify": false } }] ]}

Do you use Yarn or npm shrinkwrap by any chance?

It may be that some locked dependencies haven’t updated properly. Try to delete node_modules folder and then do simple stupid npm install.

I had ELIFECYCLE error after upgrading to 0.12, Then if I recall correctly I performed the following sequence of actions:

yarn remove laravel-mix
yarn add laravel-mix
yarn remove cross-env
yarn add cross-env

Weirdly, the issue was gone after purging the old cross-env.
